YOUR FOCUS:
The ideal candidate will support a growing research program focused on an ocean data to decision-making support workflow, integrating ocean data acquisition sensors and systems; cloud data processing, AI, and analytics; and multi-scale ocean modelling. The program aims to build an adaptable environmental model of an ocean region (a physical oceanographic digital twin) to support coastal infrastructure planning, aquaculture, port operations, and device scale simulations (e.g., tidal power).
- Support the software development and implementation of advanced and modern computing hardware needed to augment ocean mapping data collection systems for testing real-time data processing, analytics, and data transmission prototypes. This will include: 1) Ocean data collection, analytics, and machine learning / AI processing at the edge on a crewed or autonomous vessel; 2) A cloud-based ocean data handler to accept, reformat and restructure streamed data from the edge system; and 3) An automated ocean meshing tool which adapts based on ocean data inputs from the data handler, particularly ocean mapping data.
- Work directly with both undergraduate and graduate students working on Applied Computing Innovation Center (ACIC) projects and acting in a supervisory role in a lab environment.
- Assist with proposal development, research project reporting, publication development, and leading conference presentations.
- Work collaboratively in the technical and administrative development of ACIC, and will work with the Ocean Mapping Group and the Advanced CFD Lab
WHAT YOU BRING:
- A Master's degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or similar technical field, or equivalent experience.
- Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work with clients to develop projects.
- Knowledge of machine learning/AI tools and methods.
- Knowledge of implementing and applying meshing solutions for scientific applications.
- Knowledge of Edge Computing hardware and software development.
- Experience in parallel programming including GPU programming (e.g., Nvidia GPUs / CUDA).
- Experience with software development in C / C++ and scripting languages such as Python.
Additional Strengths
- Experience with geospatial data processing, including point cloud processing.
- Experience in High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters.
- Experience with regional hydrodynamic ocean modelling.
- Experience with Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD.)
- Ability to speak both official languages (English and French).
